playing your spg correctly means trying to piss off as many players as possible as much as possible

splashing teammates is very helpful for this. if it's bad, why would they call friendly fire??

Well, that depends if you are playing arty or not. See my Obj212 game a couple of pages ago.

5000 games in the last week or so apparently. Get through 20-30 an hour, 24 hours a day working in shifts? Sounds about right. Imagine how many credits you could make playing that many games...

I'm really struggling to boot up World of Tanks just to get that free tank.

Welp, started up this game a couple of days. Into full rage now. Seeing half your team continually do little to no damage is loving infuriating. I'm pretty sure training dummies would be worth more than the average teammate. I am also of the opinion that unless you are above 50% win rate, you should not be allowed to play light or medium tanks.

If it did less damage than it does on a splash, or didn't stun you for 14 seconds while dealing zero damage because it splashed 5 tank lengths away from you, that'd be cool. As it stands arti does more damage splashing tanks than with direct hits which is real dumb.

By stun do you mean track, or did they find a way to make arty worse somehow?

arty hits come with a crew skill debuff now instead of high direct hit damage

arty haters quickly noticed that this meant that they get hit more by arty, not less

I think my fav was being the last guy on the list in my SU-14-2 and outdid everyone on the team by some 1k damage. Not like it was easy either, I had to move with the team since they lemming trained through the city on Live Oaks. We lost to capping, but Jesus, even the T 10 players were loving mouth breathers

Finishing top for experience as poo poo-tier in any vehicle is always something to treasure. I mean if you weren't there, then the idiots on your "team" would probably have lost it.

Look at that. Two randoms in poo poo-tier mediums (admittedly the 85M is retard-friendly & overbuffed) did more to carry this than anyone in top or even mid-tier. This EU playerbase is special for all the reasons I hate.

I like how I was even called out at the start of the game by T67 platoon that I'd need to hard carry, and if it wasn't for their efforts specifically I would never have even been alive to do so.

Well, the SU14-2 is basically the same tank as the tier 9, so doing well at higher tiers with that one is not that surprising.

Being top of the team in an arty that takes 40 some seconds to reload while rolling around the map to avoid getting rear end raped from behind, yeah, your team has to be a magical bunch of doorknob polishers to do that
